Oracle of Terra

The earl's panting became quicker, and he curled up sadly, and began to tremble.

"My lord, that...that's not my fault."

Count Boris, who has lived deeply in self-blame and pain for ten years, fell into self-loathing when he felt Chernoborg, who had begun to make noise.

77. Veteran Veterans (two chapters in one)

"Mr. Herag! Terrible!"

"I already know, Claire."

That was the pillar of fire that lit up the night of Chernobog almost instantly. How could a veteran like Herag easily ignore it.

"So, sir?"

"Keep the kids quiet and put the others on their toes, maybe something shaky will happen tonight."

The old general picked up his long knife [Sow Cut], and moved near the entrance of Azazel.

"I understand, I will arrange it, Mr. Herag, please be careful."

"Father!"

"Nayin, what are you doing here?"

Seeing the girl trotting over hurriedly with a long knife in hand, Herag couldn't help frowning.

His adopted daughter entrusted to him by his old friend - Nayin.

Although he didn't intend to let this child be contaminated with struggle, self-defense is still a must. With this in mind, Herag taught her swordsmanship, but when he saw the child appearing in front of him with a weapon , Herag also couldn't help recalling that in the late period of the war, children from the enemy country rushed out from the corner of the street with a knife, and were finally nailed to the wall by crossbow bolts, dying in pain.

"There was a riot in the street."

"This has nothing to do with us, go back to the room."

"Then why are you carrying a weapon?"

"It's an adult's job, you're still a child."

"I'm 16! I'm an adult!"

The stubborn girl made Herag frowned slightly, but at this moment, there was a hasty knock on the door.

--So fast? !

The pillar of fire rose near the block, which made Herag even more vigilant.

He signaled Nayin to back away, but immediately a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"I said Mr. Herag, zaima? Open the door and thank you."

It was the voice of a magical Sarkaz youth.

"Tellez?"

He recalled the young man's name and called out.

"Yes, it's me, it's me. Although it sounds like a fraud, I have something to ask you."

Although he didn't know why the other party came to Chernobog again, Herag approached the gate vigilantly, signaled Nayin to move at any time, and opened it.

But the person who appeared outside the door made him speechless for a moment.

"It's you?"

It was a man as tall as a hill, which made Herag recall fighting with him on the front line, and even facing those Kasimir's battle knights.

"Bojocasti."

"General."

Old Wendigo also looked at the old Li Boli in front of him with some excitement. Although the years had left traces on his body, his straight spine and elegant temperament had never changed.

"Come in, it's a mess outside."

Herag probably guessed something, but he still chose to welcome the veteran.

They are comrades-in-arms, old acquaintances, and soldiers who fought together for Ursus in those difficult years.

As for the Sarkaz, the Ursus crossbowman and the Phaedia boy who were following behind the team, they all looked at the tall Liboli old man with great interest.

He looks great.

Passing through the rooms full of curious patients, the Infected of the Integration Movement came to a small room inside Azazel, full of people standing in the room, which seemed very crowded.

"So, the commotion outside was caused by you?"

The pillar of flame that ignited the night sky was obviously a spell. Herag, who had seen Kasimir's old Linguang light up the scorching sun on the battlefield, knew very well that it was only when the caster had a strong talent for spells A powerful spell that can be cast, or in other words, a spell that only the infected can cast at the cost of their own physical load.

As for the team in front of them, everyone is an infected person, the undisguised crystallization and the black solid exposed on the body surface.

Although Herag is also an infected person, he is tired of fighting now.

"Yes, Mr. Herag, but there are some reasons for this. We originally just wanted to quietly sneak into Chernobog to come to Azazel to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation?"

Old General Li Boli frowned, but after thinking of some of the reasons Telles just mentioned, he decided to calm down and listen to what the young man wanted to say.

"Speak, according to what you said, I will decide whether to welcome you."

"No problem, actually..."

Telles explained to the old man that they intended to join hands with Azazel to occupy the Chernobog City Hall and coerce Count Boris to help them fight Sochi. The old man's expression was serious, but he didn't immediately object, but After hearing about the witchcraft monster, his expression finally changed.

"Witchcraft monsters in Letania, is this real?"

He looked at his trustworthy old friend. This eloquent young man was not trustworthy. His plan was full of blood and sacrifices. The most important thing was that he did not clearly state his purpose. Herag, who had experienced countless struggles, understood this very well. point, so he will not agree to them easily.

"It's true, General, those puppet puppets made by wizards are entrenched in this Chernoborg, and all of this is the plan of the wizards Kosche and Letania."

"Kosche?"

Helag, who never expected this name to appear here, frowned. The veteran of Ursus understood the meaning of this name very well.

"You're fighting him."

Contacting some information that the Sarkaz young man had asked him when he arrived, Herag deduced that they were fighting against the undead black snake, and the reason was probably more important than the just mentioned occupation of the city hall and war with Sochi. Deep down, he didn't think a sane person would try to start a civil war in Ursus through such a foolish action, and then be purged.

"why?"

There should be some important reason for it, and Telles continued.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Ursus wants to implement a policy of preferential treatment for the infected. You should know about this."

"Yes, after the great rebellion, the current His Majesty succeeded to the throne, and the aristocrats blocked the development of Ursas for several times. In fact, His Majesty intends to carry out drastic reforms to Ursas' system, but He doesn't have that kind of strength and power. It is impossible for the first army loyal to the emperor to hang all those nobles who oppose him and only care about their own interests. In the face of interests, I don't care about the majesty of the emperor, but if there is a war, even if there is liquidation by the emperor's internal guards, Ursas will be greatly hurt, and then the surrounding countries will take advantage of the situation. Under various diseases, Ursus Sass is caught in a dilemma, the current empire is dying slowly, and the emperor has a heart, but he can't save her."

"You have seen it very thoroughly, sir. Because of this, you left your position and inherited this clinic for infected people?"

"That's another matter. You don't need to speculate, so what is your reason? Tell me, and I will consider whether to assist you."

If Bodrokas hadn't been present in the place of this trusted veteran, Herag would have thrown these restless and dangerous elements straight out, whether they wanted to or not.

"The Reformation of Ursus."

"What are you going to do that even the emperor can't do?"

"Of course it is to let the nobles support the emperor's reforms. If someone takes the lead, then the implementation of His Majesty's policies will go smoothly, won't it?"

"But if you want those bloodthirsty nobles to give up the mines and interests in their hands, that is even more impossible."

"So we're going to occupy the town hall in Chernobog. Mr. Cliff should still be here, right?"

"................."

Herag looked at the white-haired Sarkaz in surprise.

"You want Cliff to take back the position of Grand Duke Vasily?"

"Yes, before that we need to use Chernobog near Sochi as a springboard to start a just war, a war with a righteous name."

"War only brings bloodshed, and the people and army of Sochi are also Ursus!"

The old man stood up, and what the young man said was nothing but bloody atrocities, the cannibalism of fellow countrymen!

"However, the existence of Sochi's people and army is doubtful, Mr. Herag, think about it, the witch king of Leitania, and the wizards of those towers, now rule Sochi with bloody wizard monsters , those troops were even infected by Originium and reformed, and the former Grand Duke Kosche of Ursus also threw dangerous monsters into Chernobog in order to smash this reform. If there is no fight, it will only usher in more miserable Do you want Sochi to become a dead city?!"

There was almost no flaw in the attitude and expression of Telles's righteous words, and he almost believed his own words, but to be honest, Tallulah might be more effective in telling these words, because she really thought so.

But indeed, Telles' remarks shook Herag's mind.

He hated war and struggle, because he lost a lot in the struggle in the second half of his life. His comrades, subordinates, and friends, and even his trust in this country were lost in wars again and again.

No matter how great he is, he is worshiped as a military god in Ursas, but all he can get is the result of constant loss, so he wants to protect Azazel, his adopted daughter, and his only remaining paradise .

But now, the young man speaks plausibly, and he can hear the stakes in it. Even if he becomes selfish, he was once a strong Ursus soldier, a general.

"You're just covering up your bloody intentions with glossy rhetoric."

"Naturally, no war is full of justice, war is cruel and inexcusable disaster, but sometimes, only war can solve some unnecessary sacrifices, and now, you want to put the people of Sochi on the scales , Do you want to abandon the last righteousness? Our cause is for the infected, for the patients of this clinic not to hide in the dark, but to walk under the clear sky in a fair manner.”

The white-haired Sarkaz looked solemn. His past wars were not just, but to usher in a better era for the sons of people. The world ruled by the gods was distorted and deformed. Slices of land.

The same is true for Ursus now, for the infected, they must rise up, they must uproot the cancer entrenched in Sochi, and completely remove the lesion of Ursus, not for power and glory, but for the sake of the infected future and living environment.

"General."

The tall veteran stepped forward and looked at the hesitant old man in front of him. He would carefully weigh the pros and cons in countless battles and issue the most appropriate instructions. Therefore, the veteran believed that this veteran would agree with their cause and join this team for the future. fight.

"I hate war, Bodrocaster, it just makes me lose everything I have."

The voices and smiles of the former subordinates are vivid in my memory, and the impression of the comrades who once had a good time with wine lingers in my mind.

He dedicated half his life to the cause of Ursus, throwing everything into the struggle of iron and blood, and what he got was not glory, but nothingness.

However, everything right now is not for Ursus.

"However, I can't deny that the past wars were not completely meaningless. In my career, not only are Ursas's expansion steps, but also those who have been protected, whether they are infected or ordinary people, I use These hands have protected me, so I can understand how wonderful your majesty's vision is, but the great rebellion made it come to naught, the new emperor's goal makes people want to support, but I am too old to put my life into that fire Among them, turn it into firewood and burn yourself for the people."

"I can understand."

Veteran Bodrocasti, lost his son, lost his compatriot Wendigo, and became the last person, but along the way, he didn't just lose, he also got more, named Tallulah Excellent leader, lovely daughter named Yelena.

So this path of resistance is not wrong, and he will continue to move forward.

They're not just losing, they're remnants of a spark, waiting for a strong wind to set it ablaze.

"I once swore in my heart that I would no longer participate in unjust struggles and bloody massacres, but young man, tell me that there is righteousness in your struggle, the people, and the future of the infected? "

"Naturally, although I am a selfish person, I can also guarantee that everything I do is for people. You can also ask our leaders these words."

"Your leader?"

Herag was a little surprised, he thought this white-haired young man was their leader.

"I am not worthy of the followers of the infected, Mr. Herag, you will understand when you see her, she is a person worthy of your bet on her."

The leader in the mouth of Telles has established a tall figure in Herag's heart.

At this moment, Miss Tallulah, who was not very tall, had her hands cuffed by special handcuffs, and he himself got into the escort vehicle under the push of the military police.

Miss Drake didn't say a word, just looked at the military police, kept silent, and waited for the escort vehicle to arrive at its destination.

"Little girl, why did you blow up that empty underground passage?"

During the rhyme, the military policeman Luo Ban who was in charge of watching her couldn't help asking out of curiosity.

Miss Drake looked only a few years older than his daughter Zoya, but her expression was full of confidence and ease. When she was arrested just now, she also smiled and handed out her hands to let the military and police Handcuff her.

If you want to say that she is a crazy criminal, but Luoban has never seen such clear eyes.

That feeling made him feel that Miss Drake was not a criminal, but rather a big shot.

"Mr. Military Police."

Miss Drake spoke for the first time since being escorted, and her voice sounded very pleasant and polite.

"........."

Roban didn't respond in a hurry, but planned to hear what the Drake girl wanted to say.

"My name is Tallulah Yatrias. I am the adopted daughter and sole heir of Grand Duke Kosche of Ursas. If you are worried about my danger, you can arrange a conversation outside the isolation room. I have a piece of information that is very important to you. It is about the safety of the citizens of Chernobog. I hope the military and police gentlemen can deal with it as soon as possible."

"what?"
